THE CONDEMNED ANARCHISTS
Albert Il. Parsons, tire condemned
anarchist editor, who is to be hanged
on November II for writing articles
and making speeches in the interest of
the anarchist party, has written let
ter to Gov. Oslesby protesting against
the proposed communication of sentence.
He prefers death rather than to be
taken to 4 convict's cell.
This Is braye enough and defiant
enough. Parsons knows, and his
friends all know, that if he dies he dies
for free speech. He is in no sense a
murderer, and has not shed blood. But
che "conspiracy to convict" has fixed
conspiracy upon him and he must un-
dergo judicial murder.

Mrs. Capt. Black declared recently
that if "these men are hanged their
wives will kill their children and then
commit suicide. and that Gennell,
Bo"field, and Judge Gary will not be
eafe.''
If this were all it would soon be over.
But the seven murdered men will be
regarded rs the John Browns of a COM
ing civil revolution. For every hanged
anarchist thousands will spring up.
Tens of thousands Of people who are
not anarchists are asking that these
men be not hanged. The inAiction of
the death penalty is questionable in
any event, but to hang seven men who
are not proven guilty of throwing
bombs or of killing. makes the state
the murderer and the criminal. and the
outrage will react upon society in

ROASTED ALIVE.

The following horrible item is from
the st. Paul Pioneer Press. 1t shows
again the criminal carelessness of par
ents in leaving little children alone in
the house:
The tive-year-old daughter of Joseph
Hart, a Frenchman Of South Stillwa-
ter, came to a shocking end yesterday
forenoon, being burned gradually to
death. The father was at his duties as
4 laborer for the St. Croix lumber CON-
pany, and the mother went visiting to
4 neighbOr's for an hour or 50, leaving
the child alone in the house. When
the mother returned she found the
child lying on the floor just alive, and
with nothing on but the scorched arm
let's of her little chemises All her
clothes but the armlets had burned off.
and her entire body and limbs were \
quivering mass Of cooked flesh which,
was falling in places from the bone.
The little one was still conscious and
writhink in agony, but expired in fif-
teen minutes after the mothers re-
turn. She was playing with matches,
and her clothes caught fire from one
she had lighted. The family is very
poor, and a subscription was taken up
yesterday to pay the funeral expenses.
ANOTHER VICTIM.
Toledo, O., Oct. 16.-The three year.
old daughter of II. W. Compton, SUPER
intendent of the Toledo public schools,
met with 4 terrible death last evening
The little one was playing in the par
lOr of the family residence. Her moth.
er left the room, and in u few moments
she heard scream from the child. Re
turning she discovered that the little
girl had fallen into the open natural
gas fire which was burning in u CRATE.
The child was rescued but was found
to be frightfully burned, her face and
the upper portion of her Eody being lit
orally roasted by the intense heat. She
died in a few moments.

Trouble seems to haye begun with

the presidential party as soon As they
reached the south. At one place u
bridge was fired and the fire was just
ten minutes too late to wreck the pres.
idential train. At Memphis, Judge
II. Il. Elicit, after delivering the ad-
dress Of welcome, fell OF the platform
apparently from sunstroke, aud died
five minutes afterwards. At McKin-
zie the train pulled out and left the
president and his wife on the platform,
and after running Il mile the "omis.
sion" was discovered. We hope the
president will get out alive.
George Francis Train may be
''luhy,' but there is method in his
madness. lie has played the I.andsom-
est joke and made the best point on
the newspaper men which, has yet been
made. at Chicago he refused to see
the reporters until they had taken /.
bath aid cleaned themselves up. Geo.
Francis ,,0nyht to make Il tour of the
large cities if lie can apply this rule at
superior to most of his critics in purity
of life and advanced ideas.
The Chicago Il Atlantic railroad Of
fi'ials succeeded in surpressing infor-
nation concerning the horrible acci-
dent 1T Kouts. Indiana. and the full
extent of the wholesale murder will
probably never be known. The otlici
ais absented themselves from the head
quarters in Chicago, and the clerk in
charge would not give any informa-
tion. This fellow said to reporter:
''The accident is none of the news
papers, business, and none Of the pub
lies business. If The newspapers would
come to us instead of rushing off to an
accident they would get the facts near
er right. It's none Of their business
anyway
On no! "Public be -.'' This is
to he the next moye, is it? The rail-
roads will not give the facts after
slaughter rs it is none OF the public's
business. Perhaps the public had het-
ter express himself and herself on this
point with something more than news
paper comment.
The State Prison scandal has reached
its second stage. Warden Reed comes
to the front with his defence and the
very same witnesses whose testimony
was supposed to criminate him, now
swear that it WAS all false; that they
were forced to make the statements,
one haying been put in the dungeon to
bring her to terms, and that Warden
StOrdock and Matron McNeal worked
the conspiracy to ruin Reed. This is
the substance and drift of the testi-
mony in Reeds behalf, and it is of
such Il nature as to demand further in
vestigatiOn. If it be true that Matron
McNeal kept Mary Washer in the dun
geOn until she made the statement de-
manded, and that the prisoner was
also required to get down on her knees
before the matrOn and ask pardon
then this matron deserves something
more than dismissal from the prison.
Thus far, the whole matter looks like
the scheme of a bad woman to ruin ex-
Warden Reed, and Warden Stordock is
helping her on.

Sheep Gadhies.

During the hot weather of July and
August flocks are often severely an
noyed by the gadhy ar trus ovis),
which deposits its eggs in the nostrils
of the sheep. From these eggs grubs
are soon Matched, which work their
way up the nostrils of the animals into
the cavities of the head, where they at
tach themselves by hooks to the men,
brane lining the cavities, and feed
upon the mucus until the following
spring or summer, when they
come down, burrow in the ground, be-
come chrysalides and are soon trans
formed into flies. Probably the best
remedy for protecting focks from the
annoyance of gadfes is to smear the
nose of every sheep and lamb with tar.
Many farmers who keep sheep place
troughs in the pastures, and put in
them sufficient tar to cover the bottoms
to the depth of an inch. then sprinkle
salt upon the tar. In their eff
forts to get the salt portion
of the tar will adhere to the noses
of the sheep. The tar is so often
sive to the flies that they will seldom
modest a sheep whose nose has been
smeared, and even if they should de-
post there eggs there, the grub, if
Matched, would not be able to work
its way into the head. Some protec-
ton can be afforded by blowing a few
burrows in the pastures. When at
tackled the sheep will thurst their
noses into the loose soil. The tar,
however. is much more effective, and
by the use of few troughs can be
easily applied. Farmers Home Jour

Harvesting Tobacco.

Do not be in a hurry to begin cut
ting your tobacco till it is ripe, and
enough fully and uniformly ripe to fill
a barn. A thin butcher or shoe knife,
we'll sharpened, and wrapped with a
soft cloth around the handle and ex-
tending an inch along the blade, will
do the work effectually and be easy to
the hand. Try it. Put knives into the
hands of experienced cutters only
men who know ripe tobacco, and will
select plants uniform in color and tex
ture, and will cut no other. Have
your sticks already in the field, and
placed in piles convenient-sticking a
stick vertically in the ground over each
pile that they may be more easily
found when wanted. Pine sticks,
rived three-fourths of an inch, by one
inch and one-fourth of an inch and
four and one-half feet long, drawn
smooth, are best.
Start together two cutters and one
stick holder-the cutters carrying two
rows each and the stakeholder walk
ing between them. The cutter takes
hold of the plant with his left hand at
the top near where the knife enters the
stalk; with his right he splits the stalk
down the center observing to guide
the knife so as not to sever the leaves)
to within three inches of the point he
intends to sever the stalk from the
hill; and as the knife descends his left
hand follows the slit or opening, and
when the plant is severed from the hill,
by dexterous movement of the left
hand the plant is straddled across the
stick in the hands of the holder. When
the stick has received about six me-
dunn plants, if intended for brights, il
is ready to 60 to the barn, either car
ried by hand if near, or hauled on 6
wagon if distant If it is necessary tc
use the wagon, prepare bed six
teen eetlong to hold three coops or
piles, on which place tobacco as cut
and after placing twenty-five or thirty
sticks of cut tobacco on each coop
drive to the barn to be unloaded.
Tobacco suitable for brights is bes
handled in this way, as it is bruised
less than if handled by a-y othel
mode. Try it, planters, and know fol
yourselves. Very heavy tobacco vii

above mode, the sticks are placed

HERE AND THERE.

There is more wool grown on each
sheep than formerly, the average be-
ing doubled in twenty-five years. In
1880 the product was two and one
half pounds per sheep, while in 1885
it had risen to five pounds. This is
due to the grading up of the common
flock and improving them with the
use of Merino rams.
In Denmark dairying is taught as
trade. boys being apprenticed for
